I'm still trucking along on my natural hair care journey. I've had some good days, bad days and some hills to climb...but as the song says, I won't complain :).Well, my only complaint is that my hair isn't growing at the rate I feel it should or as it has grown in the past. So in preparation for my one-year "nappiversary" I plan to wear my hair in protective styles and basically "hide my hair" until June (hopefully). I will say, I already miss my curls, but hopefully they will be longer and poppin' when I reveal my hair for my nappiversary!
So to the left <--- is what I'm rocking right now...Kinky Twists. They are a little over a week old. The first week was a challenge because they itched so badly! But after consulting my trusty LHCF and YouTube, I decided to wash them. And my scalp is grateful! Before washing, I was not sure if I was going to make it even a month, especially not the two months I was hoping to keep them in. But now a month is going to be doable (I like to change styles so often, I can't commit to anything past a month right now :).
I'm working on a style tutorial on the style I'm rocking. It's so simple! Ten minutes and you're done!
Let me know if you are on a protective style challenge (personally or part of a group) or if you're hiding your hair and how you're rocking your hair while hiding.
Stay beautiful!

Soror...I'm loving the hair, i meant to comment on your video last night. I'm right there with you with my 1 yr in June as well. I've been keeping my hair protected most of the time. I alternate sew-in and wigs. I think next I will try Tree Braids (or Crochet Braids) there's only a slight different.
I took my hair down Saturday and I'm impressed with the growth. So a protective style is very rewarding in the end.
Hey Soror!
Thanks! Yes, I'm hoping to see a difference in my hair even in the next month or so. I'm missing my curlies, but hopefully it will be worth the wait!

Hello, I was looking up information on kinky twists and came across your blog. I will be getting kinky twists as a protective style. What do you use to keep your hair moisturized with the kinky twists? I've seen on some websites people mention coconut oil or jojoba oil.
